For some unspeakable reason me and some of my friends are obsessed with Grant. I actually have the original newspaper that announced his death. It says how can a veteran general (even though he was lieutenant colonel by that time) bring an entire army into an ambush?

What they don't teach In American schools is the fact that an arrow was shoved into his penis.

Apparently, the reason behind forcing an arrow up his genitals was not violating his corpse but the belief that a person's afterlife reflects the manner in which he dies. Essentially, they did not want Custer to father any children in the afterlife.
